Gear Haiku: Thrift Store Beanie

Thrift Store Fleece Beanie

In the women's bin
Unstitch that sewn-on flower?
Secret crossdresser

I found this fleece beanie in the women's bin of a Goodwill thrift store, and it has been on more backpacking, camping, and hiking trips than most any other gear I own. It is a perfect weight and fit; it snugs down fully over ears and even most of my neck; it fits in a pocket and weighs next to nothing. The cap was originally designed with a puffy fleece flower shape sewn on the side. This was removed (only to save weight, of course.)

I only write haikus inspired by gear I use, respect, and appreciate having the luxury of owning. I am not paid, compensated, or even given this gear. I purchased all as a regular consumer. If that changes in future haikus, I will disclose.

Be Safe

Backpacking, hiking, and outdoor adventures always involve some inherent risk. Be sure to take necessary precautions, research the specific risks involved with your destinations and activities, and consult experts (park rangers, outfitters, etc.) for in-depth local knowledge.
